You might have read or heard about the brand and their unique, sophisticated and trendy products that have been personally tested and selected by a qualified makeup artist who used to work for television, fashion and film. And it’s now available online!
Bisou Cosmetics is a new online store with a range of products specifically designed to make you spectacularly alluring and beautiful. For example, their Celebrity Coverage is a cream to powder compact foundation that provides a natural-satin flawless finish with a silky feel. It delivers moisture, while absorbing oil, and provides a photo finished look. With little or no preparation, you will look and feel like you are ready for your “red carpet” arrival.

They even off an Entourage collection which comprised the hottest coordinated essentials in make-up, this kit includes eye shadows, blush, bronzer, and lip gloss. That’s why they said: “No more carrying loose items that you may find hard to coordinate and aways feel like you have your beauty “entourage” with you at all times!”
The website is all lovely and very girlie. Definitely appealing!
Daddy Darth Vader said that there are several new eateries along Jalan Kayu and invited me to check them out. I accepted even though I knew it was really his excuse to have his favourite Teh Halia (hot ginger tea).
It must have been eons ago since I last ventured into Jalan Kayu. I vaguely remember Jerry’s BBQ & Grill and of course having roti prata at Thasevi, but I certainly don’t remember any other eateries.
We checked out Mad Jack, a bit of an Australian “Good Day Mate” place. Their prices are quite good considering their nice ambience. The plate of fish and chips was $6.90 for example and you can get a plate of spaghetti for as little as $4.50. Too bad they don’t serve beer because they’re a Halal restaurant. Otherwise, this is quite a cool place to chill out.
Apart from Mad Jack, we had other interesting finds.
An open-air food market. A new Selegie Beancurd stall. An exposed-brick fire roasted gourmet pizza restaurant. A bakery. A very arty looking kopitiam-style noodle stall and a rather upmarket Roti Prata Cafeela. All juxtaposed with older shops either selling provisions or repairing tires. Daddy commented that it reminded him a little of Koh Samui, probably because the blaring Thai music.
The entire landscape is slightly confusing or refreshing, we couldn’t quite decide. But we know we’ll definitely be back for more.
So if you’re looking for new places for food, you might want to head down to Jalan Kayu. It’s definitely more than just roti prata. And hey, remember your parking coupons if you’re driving cos there are plenty of legal carpark lots available now!
Yay! My splendid Takuya Kimura has a new drama and it’s ”Karei Naru Ichizoku” (A Splendid Family) based on the best-selling novel by Toyoko Yamazaki, which will telecast on TBS in Japan starting Jan 14, 2007.
This is how he looks in his new role as a businessman. Somehow the haircut and the angle make him looks slightly prosperous. And don’t know which idiot added the word “pig” here. 
Synopsis of the drama Karei Naru Ichizoku:
Kimura plays Teppei, the scion of one of Japan’s biggest family-run conglomerates and an executive for a Kobe-based steel manufacturer in the late ’60s. His father is the owner and president of Hanshin Bank, the most powerful financial institution in the Kansai region. During a New Year’s family get-together, Teppei approaches his father about a loan to build a new blast furnace for his factory, a request that has unexpected results.
Because of the drama, he had to shoot some scenes in Shanghai. Check out how the evil Hong Kong press wrote about him.
“近 年 聲 勢 大 不 如 前 的 日 本 萬 人 迷 木 村 拓 哉 遠 赴 上 海 拍 攝 日 劇 《 華 麗 一 族 》 , 其 一 直 保 密 的 造 型 終 於 曝 光。”
Nabei. Hong Kong is supposed to be nearer to Japan right? Yet, these strawhead reporters are so clueless. Or their Chinese is very the 烂 lor! Go and get your facts right or better still, go and learn from Malaysia’s reporters. 100% objective and supportive even though they’re further away from Japan!
“In a land where sexy male idols are a dime a dozen, and countless fresh young faces are unveiled every other day, Takuya Kimura reigns supreme. Considered by many to be “Japan’s Sexiest Man”, the 35-year-old is perhaps currently one of the most enduring and recognisable faces in Japan.”
This is how you MUST report about my Takuya Kimura, you NINCOMPOOPS!!!
来人啊！赐他们白开水八百杯！喝到他们肚子破！
If any of you have watched the movie Crash, you might remember Sandra Bullock’s character saying something to this effect:
“I wake up like that everyday. I feel angry all the time. And I don’t know why.”
Well, that’s how I’ve been feeling this week. ANGRY. Scolding people. Getting agitated with trivial things. Feeling annoyed when systems don’t work.
But then I know the reasons. And yesh, I do try to cool down. However, the anger lingers on.
So if you’ve come back here for some of my silly musings, sorry. That might have to wait till my anger is gone.
In the meantime, you can still go read my reviews and what nots at viva woman. It’s hard to get angry with things that make me feel beautiful. And it’s definitely therapeutic.
This is unbelievably annoying. In a space of three days, I have two people telling me stupid things concerning my son that defies all logic. And the best part is that both these two people are related to him by blood.
On his birthday, his grandad asked me in a most challenging tone if I’m certain that Gavin is a horse according to the Chinese zodiac sign. I was in the middle of my meal and almost choked on my curry beehoon. It’s either I got my son’s birthday all wrong or someone had switched the zodiac animal sign abruptly on 1st Jan 2003 without mine or anyone’s knowledge. Really, what gave him the right to challenge me about my son’s zodiac sign when first, he has gotten his facts all wrong and second, he doesn’t even know anything about how the Chinese calendar works in relation to birth dates?
Then today, his dad had to question me about his kindergarten education that got me even more worked up.
Taken from the MOE website:
A child whose birth date falls on 1st January 2001 will be 6 years of age on 1st January 2007. He/she will be due for Primary 1 in the school year commencing 1st January 2007. Parents who wish to defer or delay entry of their children into Primary 1 must have strong reasons to support this.
This will become applicable to Gavin in two year’s time. Even though he will only be six years old, he WILL have to join the 2002 batch in Primary One, unless we have strong reasons to defer his enrollment. That being the case, he has to be in Kindergarten Year One this year, like it or not, even though it is not compulsory. Otherwise, how is he to be prepared for Primary One when the time comes?
Education today is no longer like the past when we were taught the ABCs and 123s in Primary One. The kids are expected to have learned those basics in their two years of Kindergarten education. Lament for all we want but unfortunately the system has changed and as parents, we cannot be laxed and give stupid lame excuses that it was never like that during our time.
I feel so angry.
By not finding out the facts and shooting from their hips, these people have no regards for my feelings. Even when presented with the facts and even though they know they have put their foot in their mouth, especially in the case of his grandad, there were no apologies whatsoever. Now I really regret inviting him to live with us.
While I may not be the best mother, but I will always have my child’s interest at heart. Already, I’ve been feeling so damned vexed for the past weeks that Gavin will be greatly disadvantaged because of the age differential and these people have to add on to my stress by making all those stupid insensitive remarks surrounding his birth date.
So my new year really started with a bang. Literally.
